Yep, numero 1. Pryor wouldn't even have been as funny if he and Carlin didn't work together and were such good friends. Before them, it was just Bill Cosby. Give the man his credit. His comedy is for philisophical thought, not just laughs. Thats all anyone else does and its all lacking in substance. Carlin will make you laugh, cry, reevaluate your government, religion.. Unless you wanna just laugh about pussy then you would think Murphys funnier, but I'm not that person.Carlin had his moments, but top 5? :really:
